Year of the Dog

The year 2018 is the “year of the dog” according to the Chinese 12-year animal zodiac cycle. People born in the year of the dog are believed to be loyal, honest, and will sacrifice their interests for the ones they love.

According to the lunar calendar, the animal cycle starts on the traditional Chinese New Year day, which was on this year's February the 16th. In the past, years of the dog were the years 2006, 1994, and 1982.

The Thai Ridgeback, similar to the Rhodesian Ridgeback, is one of the two dog breeds originating in Thailand. These dogs are muscular, short haired, medium-sized dogs named after the ridge-like longer hair along their backs. They were originally bred for security. As far as bravery goes, Thai Ridgebacks have been known to have come face-to-face with life-threatening snakes that lurk in the rice fields and mountainous villages in the outskirts.
